Profile:
Wickremasinghe was a victim of the selectors whims. A solid
performer behind the wickets and a determined lower order
batsman, he was never given a chance to establish a permanent
position within the national team. Ironically the selectors
preferred his Nondescripts teammate Hashan Tillekeratne as the
Sri Lankan wicketkeeper despite the fact that at club level
Wickremasinghe held the position while Tillekeratne played as a
specialist batsman. Wickremasinghe made his Test debut against
Australia at the Gabba on the 1989/90 tour taking three catches
behind the wicket and scoring two runs. Injury forced him to miss
the second test at Hobart and Tillekeratne took over the position
giving an impressive display. From that point on Wickremasinghe
was cast into the background as the selectors preferred
Tillekeratne due to his pedigree as a batsman at domestic level.
Wickremasinghe continued to be a steady, capable performer at
domestic level and earned a recall against New Zealand in season
1992/93. Sri Lanka won the series and Wickremasinghe gave an
assured display behind the wickets dealing with the spin of
Muralitharan, Warnaweera and Anurasiri with style. However, the
selectors in their wisdom not for the first time chose to plump
for the player with superior batting skills. For the next few
years a number of candidates were tried without much success
while Wickremasinghe continued to perform reliably at domestic
level. Given the chance he could have made the position his own.
